This is the Chopin step sequence without the sky cam angle of the broadcast, so you can see it much better.

They're probably confusing his Seimei layout with H&L. Edit: I should keep up with the conversations more; everyone has said this already.

What, he actually eats out while in Toronto?

Fresca! Long time no see!

I surely hope his rehab doesn't go so badly he can't even skate for a show in late June.

I'm amused that the Portuguese online media about Yuzuru winning is just as fascinated with the Pooh phenomena as the USA media. All the articles mention Pooh in their titles. One of them basically says "Winnie the Pooh protagonist in Yuzuru Hanyu's story".

He can walk fine, relax.

A question. I remember a while ago, prior to the season beginning, that JOC/JSF(?) had increased the value of the prize money for the OGM (and other medalists). Anyone remembers how much Yuzu (and Shoma) are going to make from this?

I must have missed it if it exists, but is there video of that first 15min training session of him doing a bit of figures?

I see that my state today is going to be crying over Yuzuru Hanyu, after the screaming and laughing in joy of yesterday.

I need context on this or I'm thinking Yuzuru is a swimsuit contest judge.

Why is everyone crying?

Deleted. Realized this constituted off topic.

He is dramatic as fuck. I'll choose to believe this.

You know, I didn't really cry at him winning the OGM. I thought: I'm a grown woman, I don't cry for a sportsman I haven't even met. I'm kind of crying now anyway.

Where he says he doesn't know if he'll skate next season because of his condition......

So Yuzuru basically fucked up his ankle even more to win his Olympic gold medal. Thank God he did because anything else would have been a terrible blow after this.

We didn't, he survived it this time. Now we have the post-Boston with an injury that needs healing. Still.

Not sure if posted yet elsewhere, because the threads have become a bit of a mess but: Translation of Live interview with Shoma and Yuzuru on “Going!”, February 17th http://shoma-uno.tumblr.com/post/170985935757/live-interview-with-shoma-and-yuzuru-on-going This is GOLD.

I've been celebrating in other threads but never did drop by on the main to wish Yuzu huge congratulations for just being his stubborn, lovable, determined self and seeing his efforts paid off. Thank you for making me suffer like this. I've been finding the most interesting articles around, some quite good, actually. Of course, with them being from US media, you can expect Nathan mentions, but there's a few good ones to share, if you haven't seen them yet: Then there are the uncanny ones:

Not sure if posted yet. Japanese news with comments by Nobunari Oda and Shuzo Matsuoka about today's practice, featuring Yuzu and Shoma as well as snippets of other skaters. If there's any interesting comments, might someone translate them, please?

From @yude at GS: http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2018/02/15/kiji/20180215s00079000200000c.html https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20180215-00000075-dal-spo Edit: http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/winter/20180215-OHT1T50136.html

You know, US media is all about Nathan vs Yuzuru, Japan media is Yuzuru vs Shoma (and vs Nathan), Spanish media ignores the kiddos and is Javi vs Yuzuru. The only similarity in all the media? Everyone thinks Yuzuru is in the race and the man to beat. I think starting the sentence with 'Hombre' (man), is already clue enough he probably did eyeroll a bit, if inwardly.

Basically: "Man, of course he was injured; no one fakes an injury like this!" And I'll borrow the rest from @crazykuroneko because I'm being lazy:

Shit, I forgot to actually change the 3Lo into a 3A. The BVs already correspond to two 3As, I just didn't write it up.
